Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Herb Robert (Geranium robertianum) has a history of use in traditional herbal medicine, especially in Europe, where it was employed for a variety of ailments, including as a general tonic believed to support vitality and energy. The use of Herb Robert for "energy" or "lack of energy" is largely anecdotal and based on folk practices rather than rigorous scientific study. Traditional herbalists sometimes attributed its effects to its purported influence on circulation and immune support, which in turn were thought to help combat fatigue or feelings of weakness. However, there is a conspicuous lack of clinical evidence or well-designed studies to validate these claims.

Contemporary herbal literature occasionally references Herb Robert as a mild adaptogen or blood tonic, but these statements are not supported by controlled trials or robust scientific research. The main active compounds identified in Herb Robert include geraniin (an ellagitannin), flavonoids, and essential oils, but none have been directly linked to measurable improvements in energy levels in humans. Therefore, while its use for supporting energy persists in some traditional or folk medicine circles, the evidence level remains very low, and it should not be relied upon for this purpose without further scientific validation.
